Jessi Clare Photography

Hi, my name is Jessi, a wedding and portrait photographer, born in the Philippines, now based in Northern California. I am a mother of two and wife to an amazing husband and a dog mom to 2 crazy pups, Juno and Jinko. I am a romantic at heart and believe that love is only worth giving if given wholeheartedly. My idea of romance is enjoying a good bottle of wine paired with a well prepared charcuterie, at home with my husband, while binging on Netflix .

My love for photography began when I first laid eyes on my first born in 1998, capturing every little moment, even the most mundane, and those images are our favorites. However, my journey into wedding and portrait photography started as a hobby that turned into a serious business in late 2017.

I am a hybrid photographer, which means I shoot both film and digital, using the medium that suits the given moment. My style of photography is a mix of photojournalistic, fine art and editorial styles to document real, raw moments and emotions with a touch of glamour and sophistication, creating timeless, romantic and classic images for you and your loved ones for years to come. Thank you for being here XOXO

If I have a free Sunday I would spend it …
on a road trip to nowhere, just being on the open road with my husband and kids.
My most memorable travel experience was …
so far, I haven’t had my trip of a lifetime yet, but any trip that involves seeing new places is always a welcomed experience.
What I love most about my job is …
freezing those fleeting moments that are otherwise forgotten.
I love where I live because …
the beaches and the mountains are all within 1-3 hours from me.
My favourite movie is …
Oh my goodness I have so many but we’ll start with Princess Bride.
The pets I own are …
I am a dog person. We have 2 right now… a 12 year old Shitzhu mix named Jinko and a 1 year old pocket bully named Juno.
